    The Stoke defenders are to be had. They don't look good in defense at all. We are running around them in circles. We have to keep possession though and win the long aerial ball.

    Nice incisive pass from Lucas to Shelvey, who can't handle it.

    Shelvey gets into good positions often but seems to panic when it comes to sealing the deal.

    Gerrard looks so old. He needs a rest. But, I shudder to think how toothless the midfield wouldhave been without him today.
     
    never walk alone TPK repped this.

    Stoke work the ball repeatedly around the right until they can work a cross; Etherington nearly gets another. This is a very uncomfortable game.

    This is really poor play. We are conceding possession and they are pressing us back

    Really dislike the way stoke are fouling the goalie on corners. Need to get the refs calling this cynical play. Not making excuses for the second goal, but still...

    Strap in everyone. This is going to be edge of your seat stuff the rest of the way.

    Wonder if BR fed the team some Christmas pudding before the game?

    Oh! Nice cross from Downing goes to Gerrard, who doesn't miss by much from just outside the box.

    We're starting to get control back and Gerrard makes a great run into the box to hit a one-time shot just wide of the near post.

    Good play down the left and Gerrard presented with a half-chance he almost converted. Good play by Downing to create the opportunity.

    It's not all doom and gloom.

    And now Downing pulls back for Suarez, but it's just behind him.

    Agger is poor today.

    If we pull a win out of this, I will be really thrilled. This is a big test for us.

    The worst of Downing (immediately after the best). He should have never played that ball.

    Great pressure from Stoke pins us back again.

    Can't even get out of our defensive third. Front players have to come back and help in that case.

    We are being out played as Pulis is pressing us and we can't relieve it

    Corner. Is there any sense in playing a traditional long corner? No.
